I work with my partner on holiday traditions to keep harmony in my home.
Disagreeing politely is healthy. I communicate effectively instead of fighting with my partner. I respect my partner too much to argue over our differences. In turn, my partner respects me and my opinions and beliefs. Because we don’t share the same holiday traditions, I make compromises with my partner.
I like to compromise with my partner because we both win that way. I am happy when I can make my partner happy. Because I make the effort, my partner joins me in keeping harmony in our house. Holidays are stress-free in my home. I work to ensure that peace and joy are all that can be found within the walls of my house.
I stay in peace because I understand and accept what is truly important. I let the little things roll off my back. The big things are valuable and these are the things I work on. Holiday traditions are important to me. I work with my partner to make new holiday traditions that belong only to our family.
By creating our own traditions, we blend the things that are most important to us. I feel closer to my partner when we combine our traditions. With blending and compromise, I am able to have a wonderful holiday that I can appreciate and cherish. I give my partner the gift of a wonderful and significant holiday, as well.
Today, I accept and respect my partner’s differences in holiday traditions.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. How can I be more accepting of my partner and others?
2. What can I do to make holidays more cohesive for my household?
3. Are there better ways for me to handle holiday traditions in my home?
